September 28, 2005 - Good news for strategy and role-playing game fans. Nintendo of America is gearing up for the anticipated October 17 stateside release of Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance. The title is rich in text thanks to commonplace story-driven character dialogue and more items, weapons and spells than can easily be squeezed onto one management screen. As a result, necessary translation work has been keeping the publisher's localization team up late at night.
IGNcube recently had the chance to chat with associate localization producer Tim O'Leary and localization writer Alan Averill about the process and the game. Following, our full interview, complemented by a host of new videos taken directly from the US build of the title.

April 11, 2005 - In preparation for the show and to let you know that we care (and we really do... the flowers are on the way, we promise), we've put together a fat list of all the "official" titles being shown at E3 in Los Angeles from May 12-14.
BUT WAIT! Before you write in with such enlightening observations as "u f3rg0t triPl3 so=0p3r sup3r bLu3 p0k3m0N!11!!!!1!!1!," you should realize that this list doesn't necessarily represent everything that a particular company will be showing at E3, just what they've confirmed that they'll be showing so far. There are sure to be plenty of surprise titles on the floor that publishers aren't ready to make public until closer to the opening of the show. Luckily we'll be updating this list every single day with any new confirmed titles that we learn of, so all you'll have to do is check back here for the most up-to-date list of E3 titles.
Those of you who are camping out by your computers can print out this list and highlight the games you're excited about and wait until May to read the latest as we poke, prod, and gussie-up to every damn game we can get our hands on at the show. Or just order a few dozen pizzas and read everything we post at E3. Lord knows we won't have time to!
Remember that this is just a small sample of the games that will be at the show. Make sure to check this page regularly, because we'll be updating the list as we get more confirmations of titles that we'll be seeing at E3.

January 10, 2005 - The vacation's over, and it's a start of a new gaming year for Nintendo and its handheld systems. Nintendo of America has reiterated its line-up of games due for release on the Game Boy Advance system for the first half of 2005, from first and third parties.

October 27, 2004 - The latest Japanese gaming magazines are now available on newsstands in Nippon and with it, a host of new import game ratings. Our friends over at GameStats have poured over the latest issues of The PlayStation, Famitsu Weekly, and Famitsu GC and entered all of the review scores into their database.

October 13, 2004 - We normally try to get you impressions of the latest Japanese titles one or two days after their release. With Fire Emblem: Seima no Kouseki having seen Japanese release late last week and our impressions not arriving until today, something obviously went wrong.
It turns out that we couldn't get you impressions because we were playing the game. And playing, and playing, and playing. Nintendo may not be too shy about releasing Fire Emblem games in Japan, but somehow they're always a pleasure to play.
